    How do I master slapping people who disturb me when I'm playing fingerstyle?

    this is amazing!!! i'm having so much fun working this in to my chords, especially the trick about starting with just the bass note. learning to move your hand around the neck while practicing little baby slaps is super helpful. you break things down really well. instead of something simple becoming so much harder than you think it would be, you take awesome things and make them simple. i'd be way too overwhelmed to try this otherwise! instead of doing something halfway and giving up, i'm actually working my way through it and becoming confident. thank you!

      What Helped me:
      assign each finger to a string.
      Ring finger on high E
      middle on B
      index on G.
      Then your thumb manages the 3 bass strings. Then when your fingers land, they must always land in the same place, and whichever needs picking can pick the string. Set a very slow metronome to 40 bpm. Keep saying “Pick and a slap” x 100. It’ll start flowing and you’ll get it nailed down.

  • @nikosg37
    @nikosg37 7 лет назад +10

    Great lesson as usual. I think the big problem for a lot of folks including myself is that on more complex arrangements we focus on the left hand and what strings to pick with the right, so adding slapping to the mix complicates things even more. I hope to get it eventually, but even if not, most of your arrangements sound great regardless of percussion.

  • @stephen25uk
    @stephen25uk 2 года назад +3

    Excellent lesson. I am surprised though that you didn't explain exactly how to slap, I mean which part of the hand/thumb hits the strings? how to move the wrist or arm to effect the slap. These details make a big difference.

    • @iansalinas412
      @iansalinas412 7 лет назад +9

      AllAroundFlight slap with the fleshy part of your thumb. The sides are okay but it feels a bit awkward and the nail can get in the way if you turn to much. The front (where your fingerprint is) can work but it's still a bit awkward and that part might be a bit callous. I use the part in between there kinda at a 45° angle, between the side and front of my thumb.

  • @SABRE-ls5fu
    @SABRE-ls5fu 5 лет назад +1

    • @Guidodo
      @Guidodo 6 лет назад +4

      Hey, I struggled a bit with that too, but here are a few approaches you might try:
      -Thinking of the slap as a "byproduct" of the pick, i.e. letting the momentum of the picking motion guide your thumb towards the strings;
      -Thinking of your thumb as a sort of "anchor" to move your picking finger(s) towards during the split second it's resting on the strings.
      Maybe this doesn't do the trick for you or anyone else at all, but for me, alternating between those two (mental) approaches to the technique seems to make it a whole lot easier.
      Good luck!

  • @Androslop
    @Androslop 7 лет назад +1

    I would suggest that you play the whole examples instead of interrupting them. Play the whole "Sweet child of mine" example, the "Stand by me" example or the "Californication" example. You can do this at the beginning of the video or in the middle of it, but by not doing that, we only get the half idea of how this can sound, thus making the lesson incomplete. I hope you find this suggestion helpful and constructive. Nevertheless, this is a good lesson.

    One question.
    Should the picking finger be resting on the lower string if we want to increase the accuracy of picking individual string while slapping?
    Or are you doing it it free stroak?
    Note: I mean the higher string by lower string in the guitar language So for example, should the picking finger be resting on the high E string after picking the B string while slapping?
    Thank you for your answer in advance.

    Sir, your lesson is amazing. My issue is not slapping, it's the fact that it comes out loud while playing. Even yours is coming out too loud while playing. Most artists like Ed Sheeran control the slap sound in a way that it doesn't sound too loud disrupting the harmony of the song.
